In general, the smaller the scope, the greater the extent that light pollution renders them useless for dso's

In dark skies, the 30mm finderscope on my 5" newt will outperform my 250mm newt at home on low surface brightness objects.
There is no substitute for dark skies, and to answer your question your money is better spent in getting your scopes to some place dark.
